Starbucks Has a Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino on the Secret Menu—Here’s How to Order
Updated: Mar. 01, 2024
BRB, we're ordering the Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino for breakfast.
You probably have a favorite drink at Starbucks, whether it’s a nitro cold brew, chai latte or just a regular cup of Pike’s Peak. But sometimes, we like to stray outside of our comfort zone and try a creation from the secret menu. It’s our goal to keep you informed about new drinks ASAP!
For Halloween, we had a handful of secret menu favorites, like the Jack Skellington Frappuccino and this trio of Sanderson Sisters Frappuccinos. Now, we’ve got something perfect for a crisp winter morning: the Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino!
How to Order the Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino
This one’s super simple. Let’s get started.
First, you’re going to start with a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino in the size of your choice. Next, ask for White Mocha syrup (1 pump for tall, 2 pumps for grande and 3 pumps for venti). After that, ask for Cinnamon Dolce syrup (1 pump for tall, 2 pumps for grande and 3 pumps for venti). Then, after all the syrups have been accounted for, blend it all up and ask for some Cinnamon Dolce powder to top it all off.

Since the proportions for each syrup are the same, there’s no complicated recipe equation to worry about. If you’re a big fan of cinnamon like me, feel free to experiment with the amount of pumps you put in your drink. Tailoring the recipe to your preference always takes priority. The better it tastes, the more likely you are to keep ordering it, right?
When to Grab One for Yourself
Cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven are an amazing way to start the day. This drink is basically the liquid version of that breakfast treat, so it’s the perfect morning pick-me-up. The best part about this Frappuccino is that it’s available all year, so no waiting 11 months to order it again. Wahoo!
If you love this drink, try the Churro Frappuccino next time you get the chance.
